(36,927 posts)Because that's kinda what it sounds like. The allegation that the RCC is LGBT tolerant is equally perplexing.
In fact it's actually quite hilarious how you are trying to suggest Catholicism is part of some imagined majority that's tolerant of homosexuality. The Pope hasn't "pretty much" condemned homosexual acts, he's done so outright and the official Catholic policy on homosexuality hasn't changed one iota in his tenure. The RCC still considers homosexual acts "evil" and actively lobbies against LGBT tolerant laws all over the globe. If you are gay you can't become a priest (or were born with a vagina but that's another type of intolerance). If you are gay you can't marry in the Catholic church. Local dioceses are free to deny any service on the basis of sexual preference or gender identity. So yeah, they are "increasingly tolerant" in that they don't advocate for burning gay people in the public square anymore. Maybe in another few centuries they'll let gay people get a cracker once a week.
